[Faith-talk] Relationship issues

Sun May 21 01:49:19 UTC 2017

I don't know what you are talking about Sarah. Don't even understand the
response.
 It does not appear that you read my e-mail. I have no problem with someone
marrying a woman who is divorced.  Didn't say anything about adultery. 
Confused.
 Justin

Well, what other sins would you like to exclude from your list? The typical
punishment for adultery in Jesus' day was death for a woman. Jesus sent away
all the men who were ready to stone the woman who was brought to him.

A lot of the folks I've met in church will not marry a divorced woman, or
evne a woman who has slepte around.  But, the divorce seems to be a big
deal. They will quote scripture, or something about it offends their
Christian semsibilities. Now, if you yourself choose not to marry an
individual who has been married before, then that's fine, but that needs to
be a "you" thing.  I may be wrong, but if forgiveness is all that, in other
words, God forgives past sins, then marrying an individual who is divorced
shouldn't be a problem at least from the Christian standpoint.  Personally,
I would prefer to marry an individual who has never married, but that's just
me, and I'm not ruling out a woman who is divorced.  If she is right for me,
it's all good.

ally good point sarah.
I would like to add something to this discussion.  I know many women and men
say that they will not date a divorced person because of their Christian
belief.  In my opinion, that belief could also single out others.  who
haven't been married and slept around, and so on.  What do others think?

Best,
Melissa R. Green And Pj

Bill, I think this is likely worth discussing, though I suspect we have a
much too small sampling of people here to have a good discussion and am not
sure how best to keep it faith-related. :)

Speaking as a female (who is married), I will say that your approach comes
across quite eager and may scare off the type of women you are looking for.
Slow and steady is the name of the game. Kevin and I dated for two years,
primarily seeing each other as friends, before really being comfortable
speaking of our relationship in serious terms. We had been acquainted for
many years prior to the onset of our relationship at all. 
After things bacame serious, it was another two years before we were
married.

I can also say to you that Christian women want to see men living out their
faith actively. If you invite a lady to dinner, coffee, etc, which I highly
encourage over using distance dating, she will want to be familiar with your
life as you live it every day.

Good day, folks.

I know the list hasn't been very active of late but there is something I
need to explore with all of you to see where it goes.

I am concerned in general about the difficulties we face as blind and
visually impaired people when it comes to seeking romance, how to go about
it and how to know if a particular relationship is potentially viable, and
the ground rules, if any exist, for behavior within such a potential
relationship.

I would appreciate your thoughts, experiences and prayers on this matter.

It's something that has caused great frustration, as there seems to be
sparse attention paid to this issue.

By the way, if any of you ladies would like by any chance like to explore
with me where something could go, please get back to me off list and we'll
touch base.
